This is not a food or dinner related blog post. As a matter of fact, I have a feeling that living for three months without a kitchen and somehow still managing to eat consistently (seriously, you know me, I do not miss a meal) will not hold a candle to what is coming up next.
Dear Raging Hormones,
Please leave my girls alone, K? Thanks.
Love, Me
Yes, that's right. The "tween" is rearing its ugly head here at the Almasy abode. The other night it was a breakdown because of a pair of orange shorts. No one here has enough clothes to wear, so it all came down to this one pair of shorts that met all the needed criteria: they fit, they were comfortable, they were long enough to wear to school and they were clean.
There was drama, there was fighting, there were tears. Over a pair of orange shorts.
So tonight we burned down Kohl's. It was like a reality TV show. Drama. Yelling. Crying. Whining. And in the end we came home with hopefully enough clothing to get through at least the next three days until the weekend. Or at least until they hit another growth spurt, which might actually be BEFORE the weekend.
I topped the shopping extravaganza off with a trip to Skinny Dip for some frozen yogurt. Only because I needed it.
You are hysterical! What wrong with the orange shorts according to the Tween? I will take them! HEE!
ReplyDeleteLove it.... poor Pete. I have three crazy boys in my house including Scott. I heard my 4 year-old screaming the other morning and ran in to find a Hermit Crab dangling from his upper lip. It was pinching so hard that it left a small hole on the front and back of the lip and was bleeding. After I pried the claw off and administered first aid, I asked how in the HELL a hermit crab came to be hanging off his lip and he said, "I was just trying to give it water, and it wanted to crawl on me and the next thing I noticed... it was hanging on my lip!" I said, "Cole, you shouldn't touch the hermit crabs, they pinch." He replied, "Yeah, I know that NOW!" It is tough being the only one... :)
